Actually, the 2.6.0p2 release (and earlier) uses significantly different
values.
The maximum number of retries is only 5 and the resulting time is fairly
short (the backoff increases exponentially). I believe that 2.6.0p2 only
waits a a couple seconds
If the bucket you're trying to backup to isn't created yet, that's
probably the problem. If the problem persists, I'd recommend either
trying the beta or compiling a copy from source, tweaking the values in
device-src/s3.c .
Specifically, you'd want to change the values
#define EXPONENTIAL_BACKOFF_START_USEC 10000
#define EXPONENTIAL_BACKOFF_MAX_RETRIES 5
to
#define EXPONENTIAL_BACKOFF_START_USEC G_USEC_PER_SEC/100
#define EXPONENTIAL_BACKOFF_MAX_RETRIES 14
Regards,
I'm sure you probably already know, but I'm running the Ubuntu Hardy 2.6.1b1 package. I just downloaded the source for 2.6.1b1 and those definitions are already set in the s3.c file - would it be worth it to try and uninstall the package and reinstall from source?
Thanks!
